How to use tables in your post

[Matrix]

This a simple guide to using tables in your post. Since tables are rarely needed, and it can be quite confusing as well, most members may want to ignore this post.

A table is made of some lines, one line is one row. The columns are separated by |. The following input will create a simple table:

[table="head"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

It looks like:
[table="head"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

The table width can be specified like:

[table="head;width=500px"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

[table="head;width=500px"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

Or

[table="head;width=80%"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

[table="head;width=80%"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

k2c: It can be quite confusing to create a table for a normal computer user, please ignore this thread unless you really want to use tables.

Please note this is not a forum rule, but since I added this new feature, I want members know it's possible and how in case someone is interested.
